(Yes, I had these saved on my blog under the tag I use for when Obi-Wan is looking particularly suave n' beardy )

Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked him. Interesting theory on the beard envy rationale. Poor thing couldn't grow a beard due to the "tattoos"?

These are beardy indeed. But are beards suave in themselves? Or is he a suave man who just happens to be beardy?

Well, you two made me think of another snippet of lost footage:

The fact that the beard is on Kenobi automatically renders it suave...

Haha, that is too perfect....  

How did you get the body to be red? Oil pastels?

Hi. I'm starting to lose track of my Mauls, but the first two were indeed oil pastels for the red background, then different black markers for the "tattoos" (I prefer to think of them as body paint). Since then I have made a third custom Maul, using only Gundam real touch markers (for both the red and the black). You can read through the two threads linked below for more detail. None of them is absolutely perfect, but they all make do; the Gundam markers (of this specific type) don't crack, but I'm not sure they are completely "cured." If you are just looking to color a body (or large portions of it) in a single color, I would recommend oil pastel -- its main limitations being relative difficulty to blend colors, and greater difficulty to make finer details.

This thread (go though all of it) covers a lot of the body painting, mostly oil pastel (starting with Post 16), with links to alternative methods, too:

Hope this helps, I'd be happy to answer any questions.

Cool shot Ian!
